"Died the Yellow River?"

"What are you kidding?"

"This is simply impossible."

Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie shouted at the same time.

Zhao Gang also frowned, feeling that this idea was a bit whimsical.

"Is it really impossible?" Wang Ye asked back, "From the map, behind the defense zone of the New 1st Regiment and the New 2nd Regiment is the Yellow River, and the average straight-line distance is even less than fifty kilometers."

Kong Jie said: "But there are Wohu Mountain and Jiugong Mountain in the middle."

Wang Ye said: "What can you do when you are separated by the mountain? Just drill through the mountain."

"What?" Kong Jie said dumbfoundedly, "Crack through Wohu Mountain and Jiugong Mountain? How big is that project, how many people will it take, and how long will it take?"

Wang Ye said: "Actually not as difficult as I imagined."

Speaking of this, Wang Ye pointed to the map and said, "Look at the few leaders and political commissars, the entire northwestern Shanxi and northern Shaanxi were originally connected, and belonged to part of the Loess Plateau."

"It was the Yellow River rushing down, dividing the entire Loess Plateau into two."

"So, the soil in northwest Shanxi is the same as in northern Shaanxi. They are both typical loess land, and the soil is soft and easy to dig, and the people in northwest Shanxi also dig caves to live."

"What's more, it's not necessary to drill through the mountain."

"Because there must be east-west canyons in Wohu Mountain and Jiugong Mountain."

"So, when you encounter something that goes to the canyon, you will take a detour. Only when you really can’t find the canyon that goes to the east, you need to dig a mountain and dig a tunnel, so that the project volume will be much smaller."

"So, is it really difficult to dig and build a canal that cost dozens of kilometers?"

[Note: In the world of sword light, the northwest of Jin does not belong to the Jinsui base area of ​​the 120th Division]

Ding Wei said: "Even so, this project volume is definitely not something we can afford."

"Yes, this is actually a huge water conservancy irrigation project." Zhao Gang also said, "Xiao Wang, we can't support it with the more than 200,000 yuan of oceans and more than 1,000 taels of gold."

He paused and said, "If you don't say anything else, you can't afford the labor cost."

"Artificial?" Wang Ye said with a smile, "What if there is free artificial?"

"What? Free artificial?" Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Zhao Gang were stunned.

Li Yunlong's heart moved and said in a lost voice: "I understand, I'll tell you, why do you have to bring more than 500 miscellaneous parts of the Gao family's guards back to Zhaojiayu? What's the plan that's left?"

"Captain, this is really not." Wang Ye shook his head and said, "I thought about taking more than 500 prisoners from the Gao Family Guard back to Zhaojiayu, which is actually of other uses."

"However, the discussion just now gave me a new idea."

"Perhaps, we can make the fortifications in Fuliang Mountain Area dual-purpose for military and civilians."

"Fortifications?" Li Yunlong was stunned when he heard this and said in a daze, "What defense project?"

"Yes, Xiao Wang, why am I becoming more and more confused as I listened?" Kong Jie also said, "What are you talking about?"

Wang Ye said: "Three regiment commanders and political commissars, I think so. Although the defense areas of our three regiments are distributed in a font shape and are styling each other. The Japanese can support each other when they sweep, but the Japanese may not come to sweep, but suddenly come to Qingwen to harass the countryside. Then we are a little unprepared."

"So, I just want to use the soft soil in northwest Shanxi,"

"The tunnels were excavated in various villages in the base area and connected them together."

"You can even connect all the villages in Fuliang Mountains to form an underground Great Wall!"

"In this way, no matter whether the Japanese are coming to sweep the countryside, or simply harass the people in the base area can move into the underground Great Wall in a timely and quickly, and our main force does not have to suffer huge sacrifices to cover the transfer of the people. We can even use the underground Great Wall to attack the Japanese."

"It's wonderful!" Ding Wei said, "It's a good idea!"

He paused and said, "I have been worried about this before."

"This is the battle at Shuiyaoshan. In order to protect the transfer of the people in the Taihang Military Region, almost all the brigades have been fed. If the Japanese came in northwest Shanxi according to their interpretation, then we would be in trouble. If the Japanese came here a few more times, even if we earned a large amount of money, it would not be enough to consume it."

Wang Ye said: "But this is a huge project. We can't let our fellow villagers do it for free, so we must go to the battlefield to capture more prisoners and let these prisoners work for us!"

"This method is good!" Ding Wei slapped his thigh and said.

"We will do this from now on. Whether we capture the Japanese or the puppet troops, let them dig tunnels."

Kong Jie said: "The Japanese are afraid they can't do it. These Japanese are very fierce and will never be honest and obedient. Maybe they will threaten the safety of the guards."

"No." Wang Ye said with a smile, "According to my observation, the Japanese are only fierce when they arrive on the battlefield, but once they become prisoners, they will become more obedient than the puppet army."

This is actually not Wang Ye’s observation, but a fact.

It's just that it's not the fact that this world is, but another world.

In another world, hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops worked as coolies in Siberia and did not rebel even if they died. Now, even if the world line is different, the Japanese's urinary nature must be similar.

To put it bluntly, obedience with the human race is actually really good.

Zhao Gang said: "Xiao Wang, what do you mean by the dual-purpose military and civilians?"

Wang Ye said: "I was just thinking about catching the prisoners and returning to build the underground Great Wall, but after the discussion just now, I found that I could add a new water storage function to the underground Great Wall."

"It is to build canals and reservoirs in the tunnel, and collect rainwater into the reservoir when it rains."

"When it's time to dryness, release the water from the reservoir for irrigation. If necessary, you can also carry out water attacks on the Japanese who entered the tunnel!"

This is actually equivalent to building a small reservoir.

However, this reservoir is built underground.

Li Yunlong frowned and said, "Xiao Wang, didn't you just say that you would dig the water of the Yellow River? Then why are you still building a reservoir?"

Wang Ye said helplessly: "Captain, you didn't find that there is a Tongpu Road between the defense zone of our independent regiment and the defense zone of the New 1st and New 2nd regiments? The canal can bypass the canyon and cross the mountains, but it can't cross the Tongpu Road. Therefore, the Yellow River water cannot reach our Fuliang Mountain area."

"Fuck!" Li Yunlong cursed in anger.

"With this water conservancy project, it has nothing to do with our independent group?"

"That's not the case." Wang Ye shook his head, "our three major defense areas can completely divide the labor."

"Do you have a division of labor?" Zhao Gang said in his heart, "Xiao Wang, what do you mean is to plant different crops according to different conditions and then exchange them?"

"Yes, that's what it means."

Wang Ye said: "Once the Japanese union unblocked, they will definitely be a complete blockade."

"Grain, cloth, salt, sugar, oil, medicines and even tobacco leaves will be completely blocked."

"Of course, it is definitely impossible for the Japanese to completely block the smuggling channel, but the price of smuggling materials is high and the price is high, so we may not be able to afford it."

"So, it is necessary to divide the labor and cooperate with each other."

"Once the water conservancy project is completed, Wohu Mountain and Jiugong Mountain areas will no longer be short of water, so you can mainly grow grain."

"Due to water shortage in Fuliang Mountain, we can plant relatively drought-resistant crops such as cotton and tobacco leaves. We can even open textile factories and tobacco factories to generate income."

"Anyway, there is no shortage of population in northwest Shanxi."

"What is missing is the livelihood that allows the people to support their families."

"Not only." Zhao Gang said excitedly, "We can also open a quilt factory, towel factory and oil pressing workshop. We can let the fellow villagers grow peanuts and then purchase peanut oil pressing."

"By the way, you can also open a leather factory."

"Northwest Shanxi is close to Suiyuan, which produces a lot of leather."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong and the others' eyes lit up.

"There is also a winery!" Ding Wei said excitedly, "Purchase sweet potatoes to make sweet potatoes burn."

It seems that Commander Ding has a special liking for the winery, so he later went to Siye to set up a winery, and he also bought it while drinking.

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Haha, here we three groups are all complete, whether they are food, clothing, drinking or smoking, and there is nothing missing. The Japanese are blocking the barrage."

"It's not just yet." Zhao Gang also said excitedly.

"If the benefits are good, you can get sufficient funds."

"We may have more resources to support the headquarters in the northwest Shanxi base."

Good guy, they originally felt that it was difficult to open up the situation in northwest Shanxi.

But after Wang Ye said this, he suddenly felt that the future was bright and there was great potential for northwestern Shanxi.

Zhao Gang said: "In this case, we must take action quickly and strive to build the water conservancy project before next spring plowing, and introduce the Yellow River water into the Wohu Mountains, Jiugong Mountains, and our underground Great Wall in Fuliang Mountains. We must also build it as soon as possible to prevent the Japanese from suddenly launching large-scale mobilization operations."

Wang Ye said: "The Japanese's sweep should not be so fast."

After a pause, he said: "In the previous Zhengtai Road attack battle and later the Battle of Shuiyaoshan, the 2nd Guard Division of the Japanese Guards were almost destroyed by us, and the combat materials of the 1st Army stationed in Shanxi had been consumed. Therefore, within half a year, the Japanese army in Shanxi would be unable to launch a major offensive against us."

Zhao Gang said: "This is just right, and we will have half a year to build fortifications."

Kong Jie said: "Just do it, Lao Li, please quickly dial the 1,000 bullets to me. After I received the bullets, I went back to destroy the Yuan family, and then arrested the Yuan family's guard to repair the water conservancy project."

Ding Wei said: "If this is the case, I will also catch some prisoners."

He said again: "Old Li, give me my portion as well."

At this time, Wang Ye said to Li Yunlong: "Captain, in order to speed up the progress of the project, I feel it is necessary to provide a start-up capital for Leader Ding and Leader Kong."

"What?" Li Yunlong said, "What start-up capital?"
